Next time you reach for your tablet to binge watch your latest Netflix box set you might want to think about the blue light that it’s emitting and how it could be affecting your skin.
What is blue light?
Blue light is a colour in the visible light spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. Blue light is a high-energy, short-wavelength light.
How visible blue light affects your skin
Recent research suggests that daily exposure to visible light can promote damage to the skin. It also suggests that this damage may be more associated with specific colours of visible light than others. Non-UV-containing light mainly in the violet-blue portion of the visible spectrum may be responsible for most of the adverse effects caused by the entirety of visible light.
The effects of blue light irradiation in skin cells include the formation of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, loss of cell viability, activation of inflammation pathways and decreases in cell function. When the mitochondria absorb the blue light in our bodies, it can result in these detrimental biological impacts on the skin. Thankfully, Aspect Dr skincare can help to prevent and protect you from the effects of blue light.
